We're not able to get COM of .NET objects working with Cold Fusion 9 and a third-party application. The vendor for the 3rd-party app has done some testing with their COM objects, as well as unrelated COM objects and they can't get any of them to work. This also matches our experience. Their hypothesis is that Cold Fusion 9 won't work with any COM objects. This seems surprising to me and I suspect that we are all implementing them incorrectly.
Can somebody provide an example implementation of CF9 with a COM (or .NET) object that we can test (preferably an implementation that is already tested to work). That will help us troubleshoot the source of the problem.
Our systems is Window 2008 server 64-bit. I don't know if the vendor is on the same O/S.
Like with CF8, the 64bit version does not support COM.
Thanks for the information and references!
Is there a best practice for these circumstances? I see in the referenced information the possiblity of using 32-bit .NET and/or DCOM. I'm not the programmer for this so please excuse any uninformed statements.
We want to use CF9 on 64-bit Windows 2008 Server to display ActivePDF documents. Can somebody recommend how we can approach this? Meanwhile, I'll pass this on to the developers involved to see if the answer is evident to them from the referenced discussion.
A brief search suggests ActivePDF offers a .net wrapper. You might try using that instead.
Hey.. the ActivePDF site runs CF. Nice ;-)

We too are experiencing the same issue with COM on 64-bit ColdFusion install on Win 2008 R2 (64-bit). We've even tried connecting to COM through a Java proxy generated by J-Integra's 'com2java' utility (mapped via 'neo-comobjmap.xml') and still no luck. Can someone at Adobe please give us a viable solution or at least explain as to why this is not being supported/fixed? Going back to a 32-bit OS just doesn't seem like a good option for us. Any help/answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
(These are user forums, so you will not get answers from adobe employees here.)
From what I understand it is due to jvm limitations.
The solution is to do away with using COM objects; it's an old technology so no-one's bothering to put the hours into supporting it. In these days of not only .NET assemblies for Windows but also SOAP and webservices, there's not really much need for such a clunky old technology.
If you really rely on a COM object, I'd suggest looking into alternatives if there are any.
Okay, got it. Thanks for the reply guys. In a perfect world, this particular COM object we're relying on would not exist, but unfortunately, I have to make it work. I had no choice but to use CFEXECUTE which calls a VB shell (cscript), then wrapped it in a web service component. This hack, I can confirm, works.

- Customized configuration makes setting up Deep Freeze for your unique environment a breeze. Using the Configuration Administrator, you can specify multiple passwords, select drives to be Frozen, create ThawSpaces to save data, create workstation tasks, schedule maintenance and set advanced networks. You can also create multiple customized installers with different configurations.
- Easy deployment is made possible with several options. In addition to deploying Deep Freeze system restore software as part of your imaging solution, you can deploy it as a Silent Install natively either as an .exe or as a .msi by using our Deep Freeze MSI Packager. And you can also use the Enterprise Console to deploy.
- Central management makes it easy to deploy, configure, and manage Deep Freeze. All you need to do is use the robust Enterprise Console or Core Console included free of charge. Or use the built-in Command Line Interface to manage Deep Freeze from within the most popular desktop management systems such as Microsoft SCCM, Dell KACE, Spiceworks, and Symantec Altiris. Check out our Integration Page.
- Enhanced security is rolled into Faronics Deep Freeze with protection for the master boot record (MBR) from rootkit injections, making your security bulletproof. The Customization Code ensures that unauthorized administrators are prevented from accessing or controlling a computer that runs Deep Freeze. Administrators can also assign up to 15 passwords or create One-Time passwords that will expire after a single use on the workstation.
- Windows updates are even easier to automate. You can automatically download Windows updates even when machines are Frozen. Cached updates are applied as soon as the machines are Thawed, which means Windows Updates are much faster. Forget about setting maintenance window completion times, since Deep Freeze just got even smarter! It can now detect when updates are complete and automatically return the computer back to a Frozen state.
- Retain data across reboots by redirecting both user and application data to storage space on non-system or network drives. Or create virtual storage drives called ThawSpaces – it's entirely up to you. Data retained in a ThawSpace or a Thawed drive is not erased upon system reboot even if the computer is in a Frozen state. Or try using the complementary Faronics Data Igloo that allows you to redirect data for storage.
Click here for a full list of features»
Deep Freeze requires Windows XP/Vista/7/8.1 and 10% free hard drive space. The Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator and the Enterprise Console require Windows XP/Vista/7/8.1 to function properly. Information on Faronics Core system requirements can be found in the Faronics Core user guide. The hardware requirements are the same as the recommended requirements for the host operating system.
Faronics Deep Freeze Enterprise makes PCs indestructible. It protects endpoints by Freezing the desired configuration set by the IT Admin. With a simple reboot, any unwelcome or unwanted changes are removed from the system, restoring it to the original state. Meanwhile, user data can be stored safely on a network drive or in a ThawSpace to be retained across reboots. This helps systems run smoothly and efficiently, while giving you more up-time and boosting user productivity. The built-in Enterprise Console or Core Console makes life even easier.
Using Deep Freeze's central management capabilities, you can customize, deploy and manage Deep Freeze on your endpoints from one central location. Need to manage Windows Updates? Simply download them while Frozen and they're automatically applied when machines are Thawed. Once the process is finished, they are automatically returned to their Frozen state.
Since our reboot to restore software ensures 100% workstation recovery with every restart, you can watch that mountain of support tickets shrink. Customers report an average reduction of 63%. You can also forget about accidental configuration changes, malicious software, and operating system degradation. Now you and your IT staff can get more sleep, worry less, and maybe even leave the office on time once in a while.
- Bringing Computers to the Community
Philadelphia FIGHT was building 27 public computer centers to bring digital literacy to the community. But with only one or two technicians, how could they possibly manage machines at all locations at the same time? Thanks to Faronics Deep Freeze, FIGHT is able to rely on just one IT professional to manage all 27 centers with better control over labs and protection against viruses.

- Keeping Your Money Safe
Freedom First Credit Union was spending too much time troubleshooting PCs. Reimaging and updating was eating up precious IT time and employees were sitting idle while machines were in the shop. Since deploying Deep Freeze, Freedom First has increased the number of PCs and reduced troubleshooting time by 50%, allowing IT to be more proactive. And they saved even more money by extending the life of their PCs!

- Facilitating Learning Everywhere
Ballston Spa Central School District found themselves reimaging machines every week. Not to mention an anti-virus solution that brought the network and machines to a grinding halt. After installing both Faronics Deep Freeze and Anti-Virus, there was an immediate 80% reduction in both software issues and system crashes. Now the IT team can relax knowing the district is fully protected at reboots and during run time.

Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will.

Automated Active Directory Computer Account Management
With ADManager Plus, you can now completely automate computer account management. In the present setup, you can automate four different Active Directory tasks in computer account management: disable, enable, delete, and move computer accounts. With conventional methods like using native tools, PoweShell, etc. automating these tasks is easier said than done.
Speaking of computer account management, very often administrators find themselves in these situations:
And ADManager Plus offers automation solution to these. It allows you to build schedulers that:
Implementing Workflow
Approval Workflow is a linear hierarchy which defines who reviews the process and who approves it. Workflow available in ADManager Plus is configurable, wherein you can define various levels of pit stops for the automated process, where the process could be perused before proceeding.
As per this workflow,
Automation policy:
ADManager Plus "automation policies" allows you to configure follow up tasks for computer account actions.Say for example like in the above illustration you configured an automator that scouts for inactive users and disables it at the end of everymonth, but you also want to delete those disabled accounts after a certain period of time,Such scenarios can easily be handled by configuring automation policies.Take a look at the automation policy given below:To put these policies in use, you have to choose the respective automation policy while configuring the automation.
The "X" Factor of ADManager Plus Automated Computer Account Management
Definitely, it has to be the prepackaged collection of "scenarios". It's like scenarios that you might come across have been anticipated and provided with automation option!
While managing computer accounts, be it automatic or manual, the first challenge is to pick out the right computer account on which an Active Directory operation is to be performed. Different situations arise in an enterprise, throwing open different types of search for computer accounts. Example:
CSV files
ADManager Plus also gives you another option to choose computer accounts on which AD operations are to be performed - CSV files.You can put them in a csv file, and while configuring the automation specify the path to the file in the " location of CSV" field.This feature comes very handy in computer account creation and modification scenarios.

Customer Speaks
"We evaluated ADManager Plus along with several other Active Directory Management and Reporting software. After using it really made life easy for administrators. It is very understandable and fast to learn, I didn't even read the manual."

Unless you're a lawyer, interpreting the tax code related to incentive travel and other business-related travel is, to say the least, a daunting task.
So we went to three lawyers to answer your most pressing questions: Jonathan Howe, partner in the Chicago-based law firm of Howe & Hutton; Jed Mandel, a partner in the Chicago law firm of Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg; and Jim Gossett, general counsel for the Society of Incentive and Travel.
What is the difference in how companies are taxed for pure incentives vs. those that include meetings?
"First," says Gossett, "one must understand that a pure incentive trip is one where the trip is being taken primarily for pleasure. With business meetings, where the purpose is primarily doing business, there are different tax treatments."
The employee who is awarded a pure incentive trip is responsible for paying the taxes on the fair market value of that trip; that is, whatever the typical cost of airfare, hotel accommodations, ground travel, etc., is. From the company's standpoint, if it awards an incentive trip to an employee, the company will get a dollar-for-dollar deduction for the cost of the trip. (This also applies if the award includes a spouse or significant other.) In many cases, a company will award a cash bonus along with the trip to help offset the taxes the recipient is responsible for paying later — or, as Howe puts it, "grossing up" the award.
"The pound of flesh, taxwise, on pure incentives comes from the recipient," Howe says. "We urge our incentive houses to tell winners up front that the winning of an award entails the paying of taxes on it, just as if it were a cash bonus. That's also true for incentive merchandise."
If the primary reason for the trip is business, the company is subject to a number of tax rules that may reduce or even eliminate deductions. For instance, there is no deduction if the company pays the expenses for a spouse on a trip that is determined to be primarily for business. Another example is that there is a 50 percent limit on the deductions a company can take for meals and entertainment.
"There are efforts to get that raised back to the 80 percent limit that existed before the laws changed in 1986, but I don't see any action … in the foreseeable future," Gossett says.
"Jimmy Carter railed against the three-martini lunch, Reagan got it down to 2.4 martinis, and Clinton got it reduced to one martini," Howe says. "The 80 percent deduction on business meals and entertainment is gone forever."
How is incentive income reported, and to whom? What tax forms do you use?
The recipient of a pure incentive trip reports it as income to the IRS on Form 1040, again based on the fair market value of the trip. The company reports it on the W-2 form, both to the employee and to the IRS.
There are cases, of course, in which one company presents an incentive award to another company or an individual in another company. If the reward is given to the company, the awarding company does not have to report it. But if the awarding company presents it to a specified person in that company, then it must be reported on Form 1044-MISC.
"If the recipient of an incentive trip is an independent contractor or a preferred customer," Howe adds, "it's reported on a Form 1099, and then only if it exceeds $600 in value. If an award is given to a company, which then passes it on to an individual, the company has to W-2 it to that individual, who then pays the taxes on it."
What are the per-person limits companies can spend and deduct?
"For all practical purposes, there are no per-person limits on the pure incentive side — they are 100 percent deductible — as long as they are deemed 'ordinary and necessary' business expenses and aren't what's termed 'outrageously lavish or extravagant'" Gossett says. "If the IRS were to see that a company awards an employee a $5,000 trip for selling much less worth of product, it would probably disallow the deduction — but that scenario isn't likely to happen."
With business meetings, there are the usual "ordinary and necessary" expenses and the 50 percent meals and entertainment deductions. But no rule says you can't spend more than a certain amount per person on a pure incentive or a business trip.
As to whether a meeting is deemed "outrageously lavish or extravagant," Howe says that's an ad hoc decision made by the IRS, which will disallow any deductibility to the awarding company if the IRS deems the award to be, well, too lavish or extravagant.
"There are a lot of intangibles," he notes, "but I will say that living as we do in the age of greed, the IRS certainly has its antennae tuned to such kinds of … awards."
Also, in cases where someone pays his or her own expenses on a business trip — an independent planner, for example — the IRS allows no deductions unless the expenses exceed 2 percent of the planner's adjusted gross income. Even then, only the percentage of expenses that exceeds that 2 percent mark is deductible. Example: If you incur expenses that amount to 3 percent of your adjusted gross income, you can only deduct up to the 1 percent level.
How are cruise incentives taxed? How is that different from cruise meetings?
As with any pure incentive, the recipient of a cruise incentive trip is required to pay taxes on the fair market value of the trip.
"The pure cruise incentive is 100 percent deductible to the awarding company," Howe adds. "Cruise meetings, which in my experience are still going strong and are a big business, are subject to a variety of limitations before they can be deductible." Three main stipulations: The trip must be aboard a ship of American registry; it must visit only American ports of call; and the limit is $2,000 per participant.
Where can you learn more about incentives and taxes?
Call the IRS at (800) 829-1040, or log on to the IRS Web site, www.irs.gov, where Publication 463 on travel, entertainment, gift, and car expenses, and Publication 535, which covers business expenses in general, are available.
Another way to learn more is to log onto the SITE Web site, www.site-intl.org. An article by Philip Holmes, written with Gossett's assistance, can be downloaded from there.
Howe has written two books on the topic: Incentives & Taxes, which is available through SITE, and Meetings & Taxes, available through Meeting Professionals International (www.mpiweb.org). Both are being revised and should be available in new editions by the end of the year.
"These codes get very sophisticated and require expert advice," Howe says "My best advice is to seek counsel from a tax attorney. As I'm fond of telling people …, the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion is about five to eight years."

Antitrust in the New Gilded Age
Putting the GOP line on jobless aid to the test
A "Help Wanted" sign is posted in the window of an automotive service shop on March 8, 2013 in El Cerrito, California. by: Justin Sullivan/Getty[/caption]
The cutoff of federal unemployment benefits doesn't seem to be helping the long-term unemployed get back to work. […]So far, however, the evidence doesn't seem to support that theory. Rather than finding jobs, the long-term unemployed continue to be out of luck…. First, the short-term unemployed have a much better chance of finding a job than the long-term unemployed and always have. Second, the short-term unemployed are seeing a steady improvement in their prospects, but the long-term jobless are not. And third, there's been no major shift since the benefits program expired at the end of last year.

"They're a really good hitting team and they took advantage of us a little bit," Spanish Springs coach Ben Hofmann said. "We misplayed a couple of baseballs and that just fueled them. They got contagious hitting the baseball and started to feed off each other. That's the best way to describe it."
Things did not look bad for the Purple and Silver after one inning with zeroes still on the scoreboard. The Cougars tried to get things going in the top of the second frame with back-to-back singles from seniors Chadd Little and Chase Kittilsen but the duo ended up stranded on second and third after McQueen pitcher Christian Stolo struck out the next two batters.
The pair of hits would be the only base knocks for the Cougs and proved to be the highlight of the day for Spanish Springs as the Lancers went to work from there.
Robbie Higley led things off for the hosts in the bottom of the second inning with a single that would jump start an onslaught of offense for McQueen. Following Higley, Alex Bentley flied to left field but a dropped ball in the outfield put runners in scoring position. A single through the left side of the infield then plated Higley for the first run of the contest.
A bizarre scene then unfolded as Bentley stole home while the home plate umpire was cleaning the plate. Still, that run was counted as the umpire said he had not called time. The problems for Spanish Springs spread from there.
Up 2-0, the Lancers kept their foot on the gas pedal. Two more singles plated another run before Anthony Calton laced a 2-RBI single to give McQueen a 5-0 edge. A hit batsman then set up Stolo, who singled into right field where a misplay of the ball allowed two more Lancers to touch home, rounding out the frame and leaving the scoreboard reading 7-0 in favor of McQueen.
Stolo did not only do his damage from the batter's box. Taking the mound for the Lancers, Stolo shut down the visitors. After giving up the two hits in the second inning, Stolo silenced the Spanish Springs bats, retiring nine of the next 10 batters he faced with the lone exception coming on a walk. Along with the walk and two hits, Stolo finished his five-inning gem with 11 strikeouts for the victory.
McQueen added three more runs to its advantage in the bottom of the third. Josh Davis singled into right field where a misplay gave him third base. Logan Comphel wasted little time bringing his teammate home, singling through the right side for an 8-0 lead. A walk to Nick Agliolo and a single from Kody Reynolds then pushed Comphel across the plate before Reynolds put the mercy-rule into action when he scored on an overthrow to second base.
Spanish Springs will close out its series with McQueen, as well as its season, at home today at 3:45 p.m.
"I was happy with our energy today," Hofmann said. "I was happy with the effort. Guys really were trying, but it just wasn't our day today. We'll come out with a good energy and effort again tomorrow and do the best we can. We're going to do everything we can to go get a W."
The game is still meaningful for Spanish Springs (12-17, 6-13). An SSHS win and a Douglas loss to Reno would get the Cougars into the postseason.

In the first game, the Sparks sluggers needed only five innings to put away North Tahoe, 12-2, as the 10-run mercy rule went into effect. Then, Sparks outlasted the visiting Lakers 13-8 in the second game.
Five of the Railroaders' 12 runs in Game 1 were the result of errors by North Tahoe. There were countless other times when the Lakers shot themselves in the foot by overthrowing or dropping the baseball. Junior pitcher Brendan Nelson struggled to throw pickoffs to first base and those errors cost his team several bases throughout the game.
The Lakers' outfield also had trouble handling fly-balls, letting them drop or missing the catch altogether.
After the Lakers put themselves on the scoreboard first, the Railroaders got that run back and more. Senior Kirk Putman got the train moving by sacrificing himself to bring senior Leonel Abundis in for the team's first score. Seniors Dennis Morelli and Joe Christ each came home after a wild pitch by Nelson. This made the score 3-1 at the end of the first inning.
Sparks starting pitcher Tyler Dresbach meanwhile, was having an easy time locating his curveball and retiring Laker batters.
Morelli brought in Abundis for another run in the second inning to raise the score to 4-1
The Railroaders offense did some heavy lifting in the bottom of the third frame by putting up five runs. Dresbach hit an RBI single to begin the inning and later scored himself after the Lakers' third baseman was overthrown. Soon after, Sparks sophomore Keiffer Putman grounded out but not before junior Kody McClelland scored another run from third. Junior Brandon Harris smacked an RBI triple that hit the left-field fence and was later brought home by Morelli. At the end of the fifth, Sparks was on top 9-1.
Kirk Putman ended the game in the bottom of the fifth when he slugged an RBI triple off the right-field wall to put his team up by 10 runs.
The day's second game featured a bit more drama. NTHS pitcher Colin Spencer hit three straight Railroaders at one point in the bottom of the fifth inning, much to the displeasure of the Sparks faithful. Sparks head baseball coach Greg Vasko didn't believe the hits were intentional.
"I don't think that was intentional, "he said. "He was having a hard time with his control."
As for the rest of the game, it was much of the same. North Tahoe scored first in the opening inning and went up 3-0. Sparks came right back in the bottom half of the inning after Morelli hit a two-run triple and later was brought home thanks to a wild pitch by Spencer.
The home team also put another five runs up on the board in its half of the third inning. Harris smacked a go-ahead RBI single and later scored thanks to a Spencer wild pitch. Morelli and Kirk Putman came across home plate after North Tahoe's Conner Altick badly overthrew his first baseman. The score at that point was 7-3. Sparks' Martin Jordan finished the inning by hitting an RBI single up the middle.
Nelson hit a 2-run double in the top of the fourth to bring the Lakers to within 8-5.
Jordan belted an RBI double in the fifth and later scored when Harris was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. McClelland brought in another run to raise the score to 11-5.
Abundis put the game out of reach in the bottom of the sixth by hitting a 2-run double to put his team up by the final score, 13-8.
Sparks snuffed out a potential North Tahoe rally by ending the top of the seventh inning with a double play.
Despite so many mistakes by his team, Vasko was just glad to get the wins.
"I'm happy to get the wins, but not happy with the way we played," he said. "We can play a lot better than we did today but a win is a win. We took advantage of their mistakes in the first game and they took advantage of ours in the second. It's a good thing we had more runs on the board."
The Railroaders improved to 5-0 in league play and 7-5 overall. Next, Sparks will host Whittell on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

APA's Disaster Response Network — Fact Sheet
APA's Disaster Response Network (DRN) is a national network of psychologists with training in disaster response who offer volunteer assistance to relief workers, victims, and victim's families after manmade or natural disasters in the United States and territories.
After identifying a need to manage the stress experienced by its relief workers at disaster sites, the American Red Cross entered into a Statement of Understanding with APA to add a disaster mental health function to the services it offers. This agreement led to the establishment of APA's Disaster Response Network in 1991.
DRN members use their professional judgment and training to help disaster victims cope with extremely stressful and often tragic circumstances. Members help problem-solve, make appropriate referrals to community resources, advocate for workers' and victims' needs, provide information, and listen. They also focus on providing general emotional support and helping people to marshal their own successful coping skills.
We estimate that DRN members have volunteered more than 24,000 days in the past 14 years (approximately $11 million worth of psychologists' time) helping the American Red Cross.
In addition to their work as disaster responders, several DRN members also are American Red Cross instructors, consultants, and American Red Cross state mental health leaders.
The DRN has more than 2,500 members nationwide who volunteer primarily through our valued partnership with the American Red Cross. The DRN has an extensive database to track and provide information to these members.
Some state DRN programs also have relationships with their local emergency services, such as police and fire departments, to offer assistance.
Each DRN member is required to complete two Red-Cross-sanctioned courses: the 3-hour Introduction to Disaster Services course (offered regularly at most local Red Cross chapters), and the one-day Foundations of Disaster Mental Health course. Members also may obtain additional training through outside continuing education courses or graduate-level programs.

Injury updates on Booth, Krejci, Lecavalier and Letang.
Get the stretcher (latest injuries):
David Booth is having a similar season as Ryan Kesler in that he missed the start of the season recovering from an injury, got healthy enough to play several games only to suffer another significant injury. Booth was hurt beating out an icing in the first period Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings. He is out indefinitely with an ankle sprain.
When will the NHL realize that they need to go to no-touch icing? Yes the race for the puck can be exciting but the NHL is much better with its players playing rather than getting hurt in a race for the puck. This rant is for another time and I am sure Don Cherry will have something to say about it on the next Coach's Corner.
The Vancouver Canucks have had issues all season long with their second line as Kesler and Booth have missed significant time. Over the last couple games the Canucks have run with Andrew Ebbett, Jannik Hansen and Mason Raymond as the second line. Hansen is playing some of the best hockey of his career (nine points in last nine games) and is seeing significant power play time. Raymond is an UFA this off-season could be traded at the deadline. So for now don't expect a consistent group for the second line as Vancouver is struggling and they will try everyone but the Twins there.
David Krejci took a shot off his leg Sunday from his own teammate while playing against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Boston Globe quoted coach Claude Julien on Monday saying, "Considering where he got hit, it could have been worse. Right now we're dealing with it as a day-to-day situation. We'll see." The good news is his leg is not fractured and he is feeling better but he didn't play Tuesday and is questionable for Thursday.
A healthy Nathan Horton playing alongside Milan Lucic has helped Krejci to a fantastic season with 24 points in 27 games. He has registered a point in every game but eight this season and only once this season has he gone pointless in two straight games. He is currently scoring at a 0.89 points per game (ptspg) pace tying a career high set back in 2008-09.
The Boston Bruins called up Ryan Spooner who centered Lucic and Horton. Coach Julien stated, "We're giving him opportunity to play with some good players." He played just over 15 minutes and had two shots on net. Spooner is having a great AHL season, scoring 12 goals and 45 points in 50 games.
Vincent Lecavalier is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury that he suffered last week against the Florida Panthers. The Tampa Tribune reported that the injury was bone related and not ligaments this is positive news. Ligament injury would likely have Vinny out for the season whereas bone injury could be a three-four week timetable.
Lecavalier was having somewhat of a bounce back season after his points per game dipped from 0.87, 0.85, and 0.83 to 0.77 last season. This year he has 22 points in 26 games, which is 0.85 points per game. Going forward he should be a consistent 0.85 ptspg (70 points over an 82 game) player but injuries are starting to pile up and he is getting older so don't count on him playing too many more full seasons.
Nate Thompson seems to be the benefactor of Vinny's injury as he has moved up to the second line. This hasn't yet translated into higher production but he is getting three-four more minutes of ice time per game.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have gotten very little production from their second line of Thompson, Ryan Malone and BJ Crombeen over the last four games. Just two points, something has to change if the Lightning are to find a way back into a playoff spot.
Kris Letang left Sunday's game against the Bruins after aggravating a previous injury. He missed three games in February due to a lower body injury and sounds like he is suffering from the same injury. This is good news bad news situation, the good news is that it is not a new injury the bad news is that if not properly healed it could continue to re-aggravate throughout the rest of the season and during the playoffs. The Penguins are a lock for playoffs so bet on them taking every precaution to make sure this injury is fully healed before he returns.
Letang is enjoying a career season scoring 28 points in 27 games. Scoring over a point a game has put him into Norris Trophy consideration. Ironically the first game he missed was against the Washington Capitals who are the Pens opponent for the first game he will miss this time around.
Paul Martin saw an increase in ice time during Letang's injury in February, jumping up to 28 minutes a game, an increase of three minutes. He will move up to the first power play unit again. He is producing points at 0.64 ptspg that is the highest of his career. Martin is on pace for 29 points in this shortened season, over an 82 game season that would be 52 points. He played over 28 minutes Tuesday night against the caps and scored a power play goal.
Pull Off the Band-Aid (poised for a return to action):
Martin Brodeur was activated off IR and served as Johan Hedberg's back up in Tuesday's loss to the New York Rangers. Sounds like he will get his first start on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. This is great news for New Jersey Devil fans as the Devils went 3-7-2 without Brodeur and were outscored 27-41 over that span. Be sure to dress him in your next scoring period.
Michael Grabner has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since March 14 and is targeting a return either Thursday or Friday. He is on pace for 18 goals this season, which over an 82 game season would be another 30+ goal season. His return will cost Joshua Bailey his spot on the second line.
Mike Green is hoping to return to the Caps line-up either Thursday or Sunday. He has missed 42 games last season from a groin injury and is dealing with another groin injury this year. It has not been an easy road for Green or the Caps after his two 70+ points season. When Green returns it will cost Jack Hillen or Jeff Schultz their roster spot.
Patric Hornqvist has been out with an upper body injury since March 9 and could return to action later this week. When healthy he is a solid offensive threat as proven by his eight points in the 14 games this season. He has already missed 10 games this season from a knee injury so if he does come back dress with caution. He is a solid 0.60 ptspg player on a Nashville Predator team that desperately needs offense.
Marian Hossa was hit into the boards by Colorado Avalanche player Ryan O'Byrne Monday and suffered an upper body injury. He left in the first period and didn't return. Consider him day-to-day for now until more information is available. The good news for the Chicago Blackhawks is that after Wednesday game they are off till Monday, so there is plenty of time to recover if the injury isn't serious.
Andrei Loktionov has been out with an undisclosed injury since leaving Friday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers and is hoping to return to action on Thursday. The change in scenery has been a huge blessing for him as he exploded for three goals and five points in the first six games with the Devils. He has cooled off a little but the potential is there, especially if he gets more ice time with Ilya Kovalchuk.
Dmitry Orlov made his season debut Tuesday night against the Penguins. Orlov has been out with two concussions. The Washington Times reported "Orlov played four games since returning from the concussion-induced absence, putting up three assists. Most importantly, the symptoms were gone." Great news for Orlov owners and strong showing the AHL, he is ready to get back to producing in the NHL. He played just under 12 minutes and didn't register any offensive stats. Orlov's return pushed Tom Poti out of the line-up.
T.J. Oshie is looking to return to action this weekend for the St. Louis Blues after missing three games due to a rib injury. Oshie has maintained the same scoring pace over his NHL career, which is around 0.65 ptspg. After producing at this rate for five seasons its pretty clear that is what you can expect from him (19 goals and 50 points).

I was continually going to a Chiropractor because my back kept going out but once I faithfully began taking Bone Meal my back has stayed strong and has not gone out despite the wear and tear I have put on it. It has been 1 year now and also my fingernails grew fast and very strong which never happened before I used Bone Meal.
Used in Dr Pitcairn's Healthy Powder recipe for cats

I wanted to try a recipe I found on the Internet for Dr. Pitcairn's "Healthy Powder" nutrient supplement for cats (on a raw food diet). The recipe is made up in bulk and used a few teaspoons at a time in a cat's food: 2 cups of nutritional yeast, 1 cup of lecithin granules, ¼ cup kelp powder, ¼ bonemeal and 1000 mg vitamin C: mix and keep refrigerated. I found all these along with other supplements I wanted to use, namely Vit A and E and taurine, all offered by iHerb. I'm using the powder with canned food mainly b/c there's no time to make the raw food. It's not possible to reach any conclusions on health benefits after only a few weeks but I think I'm seeing increased energy/vitality. * * * On learning more from Dr. Pitcairn, apparently bone meal derived from the United States is undesirable due to the toxic load that animals in first world nations carry. I'm not sure I see a way around this - maybe there's unpolluted bone meal available, I'll have to look for that, but with regard to this product, I am now concerned because of its provenance. This doesn't mean I won't be buying this product again, because I will unless and until I can find a better or learn more about this issue. Meanwhile I note how they are running tests on the level of heavy metals in their product, a good starting point, and would be interested in knowing their standards more precisely.

I'm using this as a calcium supplement since I've given up dairy. Not sure if I should be concerned about heavy metals, but I find it to be the most agreeable calcium supplement I have tried.

I prefer to take what I need from food rather than from extracts, whenever I can. So I started taking some bone meal for calcium, and am giving some to my dog as well.

Yoga Shelter
The Yoga Shelter gave me more than I imagined, including friendship, knowledge, community, and freedom. After practicing yoga at the Shelter I noticed my life start to change. I was able to practice being the observer while also being compassionate to myself. I began to feel true self-acceptance by looking inwards….reminding myself that this is a yoga practice and I am human, nothing to achieve. Yoga helps us to live from a place of empowerment and surrender, allowing us to experience freedom and our authentic self. This has allowed me to walk my edge both on and off the mat. My passion is to offer a space where we nurture self-growth, feel, heal, explore our edge, have fun, embrace ourselves, and so much more while remaining in the present moment. This = priceless!

The exact timing of the Big East's imminent implosion is not particularly important.
One outlet reported the news would hit Thursday. Another outlet reported it would not.
College sports is about to get hit with another thunder clap of reconfiguration and dismemberment as it appears the Big East's seven basketball-only schools are set to separate and form their own league.
The move could end Big East football as we know it and send another ripple of reconstruction through the ever-changing conference landscape.
The process is messy, almost like a divorce, according to sources.
"It's complex, just because of the differences of the schools in the first place," said a person familiar with the situation who did not want to be quoted because of the sensitive nature of the process.
The seven basketball schools — Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's, Villanova, Georgetown, DePaul and Marquette — represent the heart of the conference dating to its establishment in 1979.
Big East football did not start crowning champions until 1991 (the Catholic schools continue to play football at the Football Championship Subdivision level).
The most likely scenario is the Catholic schools will withdraw from the league and negotiate to keep the Big East name. They would probably add at least three schools to become a 10-team league.
That would seemingly assure the league of keeping its automatic bid status in the NCAA tournament.
Mike Aresco, the Big East's recently appointed commissioner, has tried to hold the basketball schools together as he attempts to negotiate a television deal with what's left of his football division.
The Big East is losing Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Louisville to the Atlantic Coast Conference, and Rutgers recently announced it was leaving to join the Big Ten.
The Big East has responded by cobbling together football schools from all across the country. San Diego State and Boise State are set to join the conference next year in football. Other future members include Houston, Southern Methodist, Memphis, Tulane, East Carolina and Central Florida.
Temple, kicked out of the Big East in 2004, has already been invited back.
The basketball schools see the new lineup as a logistical nightmare with no foreseeable financial upside.
Aresco told the schools they could essentially form their own division in basketball with very few crossover games with the football schools.
There will not be enough money in the new television contract, however, to offset the headaches.
CBSports.com recently reported the disjointed Big East might command only $60 million to $80 million per year in its new television deal. That is substantially less than other major conferences have recently negotiated.
Seven Big East schools considering leaving conference
The basketball-only schools, which are the heart of the conference, appear set to separate and form their own league. The possible effect on Big East football is unclear.

"Was worth 4.1 wins above replacement."
Sez who? Whose formula are you using? Which one? The latest, or some earlier version?
In other words, you SAY he was worth 4.1 wins above replacement, a phoney-baloney made-up stat that has a lot of mathematical smoke and mirrors. In reality, there is no such thing as "wins above replacement," except in the minds of Sabrmetrics people who dream of taking over the game by stomping out its traditions.

The Glacier Adventure is located on Canada's most scenic mountain roadway; The Icefields Parkway. This is the route to over one hundred visible glaciers, turquoise lakes, rushing waterfalls and numerous hiking trails, picnic spots and campgrounds. Getting to the Columbia Icefield is a remarkable attraction in itself!
Considered one of the most scenic highways in the world, the Icefields Parkway offers an ever-changing view of waterfalls, emerald lakes, alpine meadows and snow-capped peaks. For two hundred and thirty kilometres, from Lake Louise to the Jasper townsite, the Parkway winds along the shoulder of the Great Divide and passes by the spectacular mountains of the Eastern Main Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. It follows the headwaters of three major rivers and crosses two major passes en route.
The Columbia Icefield is located on the boundary of Banff and Jasper National Parks. One of the largest accumulations of ice and snow south of the Arctic Circle, it covers an area of nearly 215 square kilometres, sometimes reaching a depth of 300-360 metres. The continuous accumulation of snow feeds eight major glaciers including the Athabasca, Dome, and Stutfield Glaciers, all visible from the Icefields Parkway. The Columbia Icefield is a true "hydrological apex," for its meltwater feeds streams and rivers that pour into the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans.
